Live broadcast on 3/0 In the NBA regular season, the Lakers defeated the Rockets 0-0 at home, ending the opponent's 0-game winning streak. After the game, Brian Windhorst spoke on the show about James' playing time.

Brian Windhorst said: "Going all out to win is actually a smarter long-term strategy, and as James has shown before, the Lakers are desperate to avoid the play-in tournament. After these two recent victories, their situation has changed dramatically. Three days ago, it looked difficult to avoid the play-offs. So theoretically, it would be advantageous to increase LeBron's playing time now. ”

Brian Windhorst then said: "As for the dip in form on the offensive end, I'm not too worried. There's no doubt that James is experiencing a shooting slump: three weeks since returning from injury, he has shot just 19% from three-point range, which really needs to be improved. But I think it's smarter to go for a higher ranking and avoid the play-offs – which would reduce James' attrition in the long run. ”

本場比賽詹姆斯出戰38分鐘,12投5中,三分4中2,罰球4中4拿到16分8籃板4助攻2搶斷2蓋帽,正負值+9。

So far this season, James has averaged 35 minutes per game.

As of now, the Lakers are fourth in the West with 29 wins and 0 losses.
